Forecasts

St Denis's Well (10/11), Ivane (11/2), Da Big Fella (17/2), Rocconrockall (11/1), Cullenwaine (12/1), I Don't Get It (16/1), Finnians Row (16/1), Soldier Of Honour (18/1), Monoxide (22/1), Land Jet (25/1), Eltico (50/1), Theblazen Queen (50/1), One Of Us Is Lying (66/1), Glen Ali (125/1)

Verdict

Lots of these arrive with a question mark against them so recent Navan scorer ST DENIS'S WELL looks very much the way to go saddling a 7 lb penalty for that stylish success. Monoxide is weighted to have a say if on his A-game, with Da Big Fella appealing as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

  1. ST DENIS'S WELL (IRE)
  2. MONOXIDE
  3. DA BIG FELLA (IRE)
